Mini Micro can be launched from the command line with certain command-line arguments to alter its default behavior.
| Argument | Value | Effect | Example |

0 or 1 | start in full-screen mode | -screen-fullscreen 1
|
-scale |
floating-point value | set screen scale to this factor | -scale 2
|
-usr |
file path | mount given file or directory as /usr | -usr /Users/alice/myFiles
|
-usr2 |
file path | mount given file or directory as /usr2 | -usr2 /Users/bob/game.minidisk

Usage Notes
On Mac, to use these arguments you have two possibilities:
- Running the bundle executable directly
- Opening the app bundle with
open
1. Running the bundle executable directly
You cd inside the app bundle until you reach the executable, e.g. cd MiniMicro.app/Contents/MacOS.
Then you can launch the app like any Unix executable, e.g. ./Mini\ Micro -scale 3.
2. Opening the app bundle with open
You cd into the folder where the MiniMicro bundle is installed, e.g. cd /Applications.
Then you can launch the app with the open command, passing arguments with `args`, e.g. open -a MiniMicro.app --args -scale 3.
